"I fancy him at the court of Minos, anxious to know what sort of unmentionable monster the Minotaur may be, whether he is as frightful as all that or perhaps charming?" - Albert Camus

Hiya Sem! I failed to realize I've been rss-sized. But I guess we're all been reduced to that soundbite size.

Lovely acoustics indeed.

@Caryn: I'm going to have Philo design you a sash that reads "Ms. Human Database in Perpetuity." But you must promise to wear it when listening to FMU. :)

Common Ground Fair this weekend in Maine. Note that the guidelines do NOT prohibit deep-fryin' the shit up three times:
"Foods offered should emphasize seasonally available ingredients. Whenever possible, all foods and food ingredients sold at the Common Ground Country Fair must be produced organically in Maine. Ingredients not subject to organic guidelines are to be produced or harvested sustainably. And ingredients produced or grown outside of Maine must reflect MOFGA’s commitment to support sustainable, organic farming."

@Sem: In the coming days, you should see posted at both our Tumblrs a new MarLin cartoon collab (I have the concept and caption, he does the visuals). If I can get him to do some "work" while he's on a mini staycation.

Actually this kind of reminds me of a Sun City Girls 'tune' from some forgotten album, but more upbeat in a beat poetry kind of a way. Mixed with Dog Faced Hermans or one of those 90s shambolic alternator bands.

@stillb/p: I hear sirens wailing and a cop on a bullhorn.

Probably would not work well or smoothly, but it might be fun for some performer -- like this group -- to do an immediate page to stage performance of listener comments. At least I know there have been *some* legendary comments boards worthy of recitation / performance.

Aha, I read that it's real-time, but I gather not necessarily only FMU listener tweets. Having no Twitter account, IAE, maybe Philo will share with me. And I also read you're having a Halloween Special. It's not a rocker, but it's Halloween tested: soundcloud.com...

Kurt Gottschalk:
glow, i think there's a lot to this music in terms of timing focus and touch. that said, i also don't think technical prowess is the only way of judging (or enjoying) music.
